Ga. whereas many of the policies implemented by the European Commission in recent years have failed to bring about the desired replenishment of stocks but have, on the contrary, resulted in further depletion, necessitating increased imports from third countries;
Amendment 26 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital H
Recital H
H. whereas fisheries management cannot be separated from other aspects associated with the marine environment and coastal populations, such as economic, cultural and social aspects, as set out in Article 2 of the objectives of the Common Fisheries Policy, and as referred to throughout Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013, these being the three mainstays of the common fisheries policy;
Amendment 27 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital I
Recital I
I. whereas it is frequently difficult to obtain and collect data and information on marine environments and fisheries, and whereas the participation of the fisheries sector itself in this work is important, on a proactive basis also, is vital for all public and private research bodies at national and European level, as laid down in Article 25 of the Common Fisheries Policy in Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 on the Common Fisheries Policy; to this end, the importance of a bottom-up approach to fisheries management is underlined as regards both data collection and policy making;

I. whereas it is difficult to obtain and collect data and information on marine environments and fisheries, and whereas the participation of the fisherifisheries sector stakeholders should be consulted to a greater extent by public and private research bodies at European level, as their involvement is es sector itself in this work is important for all public and private research bodies at European levelntial in order to collect data and information on marine environments and fisheries, as laid down in Article 25 of the Common Fisheries Policy in Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013;
Amendment 30 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital J
Recital J
J. whereas, in all the cases of co- management mentioned above, the change in the role of fishers – from passive subjects who comply with the rules to protagonists in fisheries management – is fundamental to the success of the initiatives adopted, as they learn to understand the importance of the rules, to defend them and monitor compliance with them, and to manage their fishing methods in an ecosystem-based approach, understanding the importance of their fisheries in the ecosystems; in this regard, the role of fishers as 'guardians of the sea' is underlined through their contribution to targeted policy making, the reduction of marine litter and the collection of plastic at sea, for example;

Recital J
J. whereas, in all the cases of co- management mentioned above, the change in the role of fishers – from passive subjects who comply with the rules to protagonists in fisheries management – is fundamental to the success of the initiatives adopted, as they learn to understand the importance of the rules, to defend them and monitor compliance with them, and to manage their fishing methods in an ecosystem-based approach, understanding, in keeping with their traditional role as stewards of the oceans and their resources, they are better able to make the most of their experience and observations so as to decide on conservation rules and monitor compliance with them in order to limit the importanceact of their fisheries in theing on ecosystems;

Motion for a resolution
Recital K
Recital K
K. whereas scientific work isand socio- economic impact studies are needed to advise on the measures to be taken to ensure responsible use of common resources, as laid down in Articles 26 and 27 of the Common Fisheries Policy in Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013;
Amendment 39 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital M
Recital M
M. whereas the White Paper on the Governance of the European Union establishes that Policies should no longer be decided at the top, that the legitimacy of the EU now lies with the participation of its citizens through a bottom-up approach and that the system of functioning of the Union needs to be made more transparent since participation depends on people being able to understand and take part in public debate; for this to happen, the general public needs to be more actively and continuously informed about European issues on an institutional basis; whereas the White Paper also proposes the involvement of local-government associations in policy development and greater flexibility in the implementation of certain Community policies with a strong social, economic and territorial impact;
Amendment 49 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 3
Paragraph 3
3. Points out that co-management has been proven to favour consensual decision- making between the administration, the sector and research bodies, which always act in accordance with the principles of the Common Fisheries Policy and other relevant regulations, applying the precautionary approach in all cases to ensure that resources are exploited in a manner that is fully sustainable on the basis of the maximum sustainable yield of the target species;
Amendment 53 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 4
Paragraph 4
4. Emphasises the fact that co- management systems function at the level of fisheries, taking into account the environment in which they operate, thus applying a holistic approach;
Amendment 69 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 8
Paragraph 8
8. Stresses that the lack of specific Community legislation for the implementation of fisheries co- management systems hinders their use in the management of fisheries in the Member States, as this depends solely and exclusively on the specific commitment of the competent authorities; to this end, the EU could play a useful coordinating role for the sharing of best practices;

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 16
Paragraph 16
16. Notes that global fisheries management is mainly based on a top- down state-centred approach, focused on industrial or large-scale fisheries, economic efficiency, environmental sustainability, and is guided by scientific research in marine biology; considers that this approach would not be validbe unhelpful, not to say harmful, for small- scale fisheries that need the bottom-up involvement of the fishing community in fisheries management tools, and that it has not been the best approach with regard to semi- industrial and industrial fisheries globally;
